@jamellebouie.net has a great piece in NYT about Trump’s war of attrition. I made similar argument in @inthesetimes.com in February. inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

Reporters have been milling about for two hours. But now Mamdani supporters have arrived, including yellow cabbies who are all smiles and fist bumps.

As the clock runs out before Election Day, Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani canvassed night-shift taxi drivers at LaGuardia Airport and nurses at Elmhurst Hospital. Will NYC’s working class carry him to victory ?

Here’s my second favorite photo from the No Kings march. As someone guilty of rhetorical excess, the slogan on this handmade sign may not launch the general strike, but it’s a winner for an audience of one.

This might rank as my favorite picture of the No Kings march on Oct. 18 in NYC. It has a protest sign with a rhetorical turn of phrase. It has a lively unposed quality to it.

Unions need to do more to integrate into these mass protests. Today was a good start. But better coordination is necessary.

Solidarity between workers is the lifeblood of a fighting labor movement. The workplace throws us together, regardless of culture, race, gender, and language, and from that arbitrary chaos, we forge genuine bonds.

With stagnant growth in the major economies, war becomes a key investment. Denmark will buy 16 F-35 jets from the U.S. for $4.5 billion. The country is bending to Trump’s pressure campaign to seize Greenland.

Agreeing to a May 1 contract deadline season means you and your co-workers are joining the fight for each other and workers everywhere. Will you take the leap into action?

* Practical resources, like sample resolutions and articles
